No worries. The issue needed clarification.

Don't be sorry - I find it a very usefull information, in order to put all the pices together.
Like - since I have all media on NAS, I shold be fine for the most part.
What about accessing Mac from Windows?

Windows itself should have no problem. I believe even XP has updates for SMB 2.0.
I found some old posts on some site talking about how XBMC did do some tweaking for SMB 2.0 compatibility at one time, but I'm guessing it's not completely in spec.

I wonder how many people are going to be unpleasantly surprised by this little SMB fiasco? It certainly is more than just XBMC users who have mixed networks and depend on SMB for file sharing, etc.

My first clue to the sound issue actually came from another thread here on the XBMC forums:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=104878
Since I had already upgraded to Lion, I ended up scratch-loading the mini with Snow Leopard and stopping OS X system updates at 10.6.7.
I only play files stored on my NAS so the SMB issue didn't seem to affect me.

If it's working with Windows, I believe most of users will have no problem.

Yup, I was thinking in the same direction once I read Anandtech article from a link you've posted.

Ah ha! A simple solution (for me) has come to mind. I have an old AC Ryan POHD that I'm using as a backup for my media library. Its hard drive is set up as an SMB share. (I could never get NAS to work.)
If I'm thinking clearly I should be able to point my XBMC installations to the POHD SMB share and remove as media sources the SMB shares on my Mac (since they won't work if I reinstall Lion).
Am I right in thinking that this will require a complete rebuild of my shared XBMC library?

What's the reasoning behind that? And what are the chances of seeing an easy fix, either from Apple or elsewhere?

I have a Western Digital NAS plugged into my router. I copy video files wirelessly from my Mac to my XBMC machine (which is connected to the router) and stream music.
Will upgrading to Lion prevent me from doing this?

Very small. I told everyone to not update to Lion, but nooooo

I tried working around this using NFS, but that didn't work.
The share is out there:
I can mount it from other Macs at:
nfs://192.168.0.75:2049/Volumes/Media
But XBMC balks:
So, I guess I just stick with Snow Leopard for now.

I haven't jumped yet. But I'm going to have to soon. I'm serving over SMB from my main Mac, and it has to run the current OS for professional reasons.
Since I don't use Samba for anything but XBMC, what are the chances of XBMC being able to support Samba 2?
Failing that it, could someone here build an installer for Samba 3 that will work with XBMC?
